To this end, many archaeologists are committed to this. They hoped to get more historical materials, so they made an in-depth excavation of this land. However, things are always so unpredictable, the road of archaeological research is always so ups and downs, and it is full of twists and turns in the process of continuous progress. Then one day in the 1990s, all the cultural studies about Sanxingdui stopped, and they all reached an impasse, which made people feel sad.
The mystery of the great ancient civilization
Some people think it strange that this civilization is so valuable for research, why did it fail and stop here before it succeeded?
Later, everyone discovered the reason. Facts have proved that there is no evidence that this Sanxingdui culture is related to the origin of China. Even the appearance of Sanxingdui culture is so macro that even the cultural foundation of China will be shocked and shaken! Domestic scholars have thoroughly discovered that this newly discovered Sanxingdui culture is not only an ordinary cultural cluster, but also closely related to the origin of China, unlike the so-called Western Zhou culture and Liangzhu culture. It seems that it just exists out of thin air, appears out of thin air, and rises from this ancient land of China. Its appearance is staggering. However, after further observation, I further felt a sense of fear: originally, this civilization is a great ancient civilization, with bronzes, cities, characters and symbols, and large-scale ceremonial buildings. It subverts people's original cognition from many aspects, angles and even cultural levels, and it is this kind of culture that has great possibility to rewrite the history of ancient civilization in China.
In 1980s, two "sacrificial pits" were unearthed one after another, and people were able to dig out a new civilization in these two seemingly ugly pits. People found in the ruins of this area that thousands of bronzes here are all exquisite, and many people like literature and art such as imagination, writing and painting. They often create a world from their works, and the paintings in these works are full of magic and brilliance. However, it can't become a reality in real life. It seems to be intertwined with reality, but it cannot be detached from reality and really projected into the image of reality. But the Sanxingdui civilization gives people the feeling that from this civilization, what you think is what you see, and what you see is what you get. Those gaudy and magnificent bronzes, whether they are nine-headed bronze trees or bronze cups that look like wheels, all reveal a way to turn fantasy into reality. They make people feel unparalleled shock.
For example, people who think that ancient people were very backward and could only do carpentry without highly developed mechanical skills were severely slapped by the facts. They use these things excavated by themselves to tell you profoundly that in ancient China, there was such a highly developed mechanical technology and civilization, and the owner of this technology was the unearthed giant portrait, known as the king of bronze statues in the world. Before it leaves the soil completely, even if half of it is deeply immersed in the soil, it can be seen that it is huge. Later, people finally dug up the soil near it with instruments, and immediately gasped and sighed for its grandeur and breadth.
Sanxingdui bronze statue
In the society at that time, many people began to discuss its origin and paid more attention to discussing what it was. Why build such a strange but magnificent bronze statue?
Since then, some people say that it is like a "corpse", which means a corpse that stands up, while others say that it represents the image of the ancient Shu king. However, these statements have not been confirmed. Faced with a miraculous civilization like Sanxingdui, people are helpless about all archaeological inventions, as if being pushed away by a force. They studied anything they found in this land, but after studying, they still revealed only the tip of the iceberg. The reason for saying this is a comparison with the Qin Terracotta Warriors. Everyone knows that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Dynasty are also humanoid figures and carved figures, so many people think that there may be some connection between the Terracotta Warriors and the bronze statue of Sanxingdui, but the final result of the comparison is that there is no similarity or inheritance between them, and there is no similarity at all, no matter in the carving technique or the carved facial features, so everyone draws a new inference: it makes people feel chilling, but it is also more persistent in exploration and can't be understood after repeated exploration, so it is paved.
Alien Civilization Exiled to China
What is even more surprising is that with the deepening of this excavation, some strange things have appeared in the bronzes. These bronzes have different shapes and shapes and are rarely repeated. Others infer that this civilization should not be a Chinese civilization, but a foreign civilization that fled to China. In fact, there is some truth in this statement, because these bronzes contain "sun gears" and some sacrifices to the gods. These things don't look like China's, but they look like some foreign styles, such as the traces left by religious tribes that originated in the Ganges River valley and the Egyptian River valley. Some people are most afraid of:
Of course, this is only a hypothesis, and there is no actual evidence. And the strangest thing is not these strange cultural relics, but that we can't find any words in these cultural relics, so even if we hold an object, there is no way to interpret it through words, and there is no way to interpret it through words. Everything is so pale and powerless. Writing is a language that can communicate with everything in the world. Even hieroglyphics play a great role, but without writing, even if we just hold this beautiful pile of bronze, we are facing cold bronze.
The reason why Chinese archaeologists don't want to dig deep into this history is actually because they are worried about the protection of cultural relics. At that time, they found that the bronzes were exquisite, but with the existing technology in our country, these exquisite cultural relics could not be completely and properly preserved, not only because we had to pay the human and financial costs, but also because we could not do it for the time being. If the current scientific and technological conditions can really reach that level, we will do it even if we try our best. If the unearthed cultural relics are preserved with the current technology, it will lead to the weathering and loss of cultural relics, which will completely destroy the cultural relics themselves, trample and blaspheme the ancient civilization, disrespect and squander the ancient civilization, and be a great loss for us to study ancient history. Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening and to prevent the ancient cultural relics unearthed in China from being properly protected, archaeologists finally chose to give up, which is definitely not the case.
It's like the exploitation of trees. What we need to do is never cut down trees blindly and ask for them blindly. On the contrary, we should develop sustainably, live within our means and live within our means. We can't plunder all the resources at once, but learn from them, accumulate a lot and make little progress! Perhaps after waiting for many years, after our country has finally refined its superior cultural protection ability, we will completely expose Samsung civilization to the world, dig out the other half hidden in the mud, lead to the vast civilization of the unknown world, and conduct endless exploration again.
One day I saw an archaeological program, and several experts were discussing the relationship between civilization and cultural relics. At that time, an expert said that he felt that the understanding of civilization and culture should be based on cultural relics, then separated from cultural relics, let the imagination fly, and combined with empirical research and analysis, a better result would be obtained. Otherwise, if there are only cultural relics, it is difficult to get a definite conclusion. For example, the stranding of Sanxingdui culture proves this point. Sometimes people will think that if archaeologists can put forward more hypothetical research based on cultural relics, will it speed up the "solving crimes" of this prehistoric civilization? But the rigorous and realistic attitude towards historical research is also worth learning.
